Vista - ReBoot Time

I got mine to 112 but i have nothing special just what was shuved into my equium laptop which is nothing special. so thats pretty decent and its not like i sit around while it starts up.

So I have a question for you guys. I remember when this thread was first created. I looked at everyones. I even ran the test and I didn't do very well. I think 90 seconds or something of that sort. I have a Quad runnin at 3.5 GHz or so or whatever I use that day. it should load up much faster than that. The only things I have set to Run at start-up are eset NOD32, CoreTemp, and Sidebar. other than that. everything else is just the usual.. oh and Rocketdock on startup now also.

But when I restart my computer. I get past the beginnings. I get to the Windows Vista Screen

and after that I have a good long I'd say at least 30 second or so Pause before I get to Enter my password.. and all these Restarts while changing BIOS settings for my OC. it's long and time consuming. if I could cut my time I'd be happy.

whats causing this lag. and what can I do to get rid of it?

Ya so I still have that long pause right after that screen I linked to above.

but I tried a test. and with 1 core being used on start-up my score was 76 seconds. I changed that to use all 4 cores and all i got was 5 seconds less.. pretty weak, as other say like 40 seconds. lol

Here's a screeny of my horrible time.

I used to have that long pause, just before the Vista startup sound played. For me it was somehow linked to me disabling ReadyBoost. I re-enabled it after reading about ReadyBoost and ReadyBoot, and how they're linked together (ReadyBoot being the cache on RAM for processes when booting up, or something). With ReadyBoost enabled (even thought I don't use a USB drive for it), the long pause disappeared.

hm... good info. I'll look into that.

Mind tellin me where you enabled that?

Hi xguntherc,

You just need to set the Readyboost service to automatic -type services.msc.in the Start search box.

SIW2

It's already set to Automatic.. so thats now whats laggin my start-up.

any other idea's??

Mine 48 seconds, did alot of tweaking.. but it can always be improved abit more right?

went from 400 sec boot time down to 99 sec boot time

system spec

amd athalon 64 x2 4800+ 2.5ghz
2gb ram

I don't see where that reboot time windows is coming from???

I've never seen it!

When I shutdown my Vista PC, I use my quick shutdown icon on my desktop and the system is down and OFF in about 8 sec's.

If I need to reboot, I use my quick Reboot Icon and the system goes down and right back up again.

Sorry guys, I really don't see this "Reboot" thing?
